I've been looking all over the internet for pics and haven't found anything yet. Who is making them? I can't wait to see them. On a related note, my bro scored tickets for the ring ceremony game, first 20,000 get replicas, and I will be one of them. It's a 1 pm game, so what time can you go to tailgate? I'm not going to work that day, so I want to start partying in the lot at like 7 in the morning. Is this possible?

Nothing out there as of yet. I just hope to God that the ring is pretty nice and actually fits me kind of well. I swear I would never take that thing off for at least a month or so.

Grandstand would make a KILLING off selling those replicas! How about selling them for Chicago White Sox Charities!

Or, perhaps that would be a great fundraiser for the Windy City Sox Fans?

Just a warning...

I got two of the replica rings that the Bulls gave away after they won the championships in '97 and '98. They were nothing like the ones the Bulls actually got and one of them had an MGD logo on the side of the ring.

So, before anyone comes and complains after the game on April 4th...

- don't be surprised if the design of the ring is nothing like the real one
- don't be surprised if the ring does not fit ANY of your fingers
- DON'T COMPLAIN

I bet they'll have this on them:

Top of ring- World Series Champs (Sox Logo)

One Side- 2005

Other Side- Big Pepsi Logo

Well, I don't think anyone is expecting something spectacular...it is a free give-away, but I don't care how lame it may look, it will still be awesome to have (something only 19,999 other people have and it's a World Series ring!!). If you are, then I guess you should get ready for disappointment.

Finally a voice of reason. You can guarantee that whatever is given away will have a large corporate logo on it.

I think these are them. They're a little bigger than the palm of your hand. I already have one, and they're sold as "White Sox World Series Trophy Paperweights". If anyone else thinks or knows that they'll be giving away something different, let us know !

If getting a replica ring is so important to you, make the effort to get to the game early enough.

It's not for lack of sponsors. All teams deliberately give out a limited number of promotional items. It encourages fans to come to the park an hour earlier than they normally would. Once the fans get their ring/trophy/bobblehead/whatever, they have extra time to mill around the park = more drinks and food sold.

Amen. Despite what Brooks says, the SOX will sell replica versions of THEIR Rings ........the SOX wont just let money sit on the table like that. I promise you. They'll give away bogus versions of rings (which is fine) and later ....after everyone gets their appetite for a ring whetted, they'll "announce" selling Rings for Charity or something like that. Im going to this game, but not really worried about getting a ring or not .................
some of you act like theyre giving the exact replica of their ring away.
The rings the SOX will have wont have Pepsi on it, nor will it be plastic

Yes, those are the trophys they will be giving away. Im sure the SOX arent happy knowing people can just go to Grandstand and get their own for $14.99

Somehow I'm doubting they'll be giving away $15 paper weights...

Whatever they give out, I'm betting it will be plastic or cheap/thin metal.

Oprah gives nothing away. She makes other people pay. 30 minute show on XM for $50 million!
Be grateful she doesn't own the Sox, as her mindset would charge 100-1000 per ticket. I can see why you still hate Jerry and love Oprah. Look at what's she's done for YOU!!
Thanks Jerry for all the championships!

ALL full-time employees of the Sox do get a WS Ring. I believe the number is around 150 rings, not including the players. I have this on good authority from someone who will actually be getting one...I can't wait to see it. He may actually let me wear it from time to time.

After reading WSI for a while, people expecting crazy things is never a surprise. I look forward to getting the ring, no matter what it looks like. I guarantee tons of complaints.
Can't believe someone wanted Jerry to sell to Oprah. After all, what has he done for us lately. some people are nuts.

I've always wondered, do you think the bat-boys will get a ring with those crazy hours and all. My girlfriend goes to school with one of them and they're putting in 81 days from spring to fall, plus extra nights the team returns from away trips (to get the clubhouse ready for a homestand) and their hours are probably nothing to be desired (my guess would be 4 PM - 11 or 12 on game nights). On the other hand, they have one of the best jobs in the World, get paid well, and get tips from several players adding to 4-digits when the seasons end.
